Russia turned to China and said, "Russia and China fought in The Second World War, we won the Second World War, we defeated Nazism," and I thought, "Okay, this is something new." If you know the history, it raises a lot of questions.
The ignorance level is off the charts. Hate to do a gorgewellism but the west really did memory hole the anti-fascist and decolonial struggles of the entire last 100 years for its own population.
“If we see that Germany is winning we ought to help Russia and if Russia is winning we ought to help Germany, and that way let them kill as many as possible, although I don't want to see Hitler victorious under any circumstances.”

It's more like the Nazis fought Russia. They had a deal to carve-up Poland but then the Nazis (as Nazis do) reneged on that deal.

Europe was the one making deals with the Nazis. Which the Nazis kept reneging on. As Nazis do.
Stalin offered Europe help to fight the Nazis. But Europe refused.
The position of Truman most exemplifies the West during WW2:

Europe and America are besides the point.

They are not. Because Stalin took the Poland deal after Europe refused to fight Hitler with him.
